Top Trends in Criminal Legal System Reform in 2024
In this year-end wrap-up report, an expert in sentencing reform, voting rights, and confronting racial disparities in the criminal legal system looks back at 2024 and explores key changes formerly incarcerated activists, lawmakers, and advocates took to challenge mass incarceration. They include decarceration, voting rights and collateral consequences, and trends in prison capacity.
Guest Nicole D. Porter, senior director of advocacy at Washington, D.C.-based The Sentencing Project, also looks ahead and predicts what changes are on the horizon for the coming year.

Debunking the Myth: Why Mass Incarceration Doesn't Mean Less Crime
Просмотров 104Месяц назад
In the last decade, nearly all 50 U.S. states have declined in both crime and mass incarceration rates, but according to a recent report by The Sentencing Project (TSP), there's a startling disconnect between the two. This report exposes the limited impact of imprisonment on public safety and challenges the notion that higher incarceration rates lead to safer communities. In this episode, two W...

In New York State, people can vote while incarcerated for a misdemeanor or while on probation.

With the election quickly approaching, voting laws in states nationwide continue to prevent millions of Americans with con...

The Case for System Reforms to Reduce Youth Incarceration
Просмотров 1743 месяца назад
Compelling research finds that incarcerating or detaining young people is not necessary or effective. Rather, removing young people from their homes, schools, and communities, and placing them in institutions increases the likelihood that youth will return to the justice system and reduces young people's future success and wellbeing. Incarceration also exposes many youth to abuse. A recent repo...

Raise the Gate: The Case for Cash Assistance for People Leaving Incarceration

Supporting The Children of Incarcerated People: A National Parents Day Special
Просмотров 1435 месяцев назад
The arrest of a parent can be traumatic for many children. The removal of a mother or father from a child’s life forces that child to confront emotional, social, and economic consequences that may trigger behavior problems, poor outcomes in school, and a disruption or severance of the relationship with the incarcerated parent that may persist even after the parent is released from prison.

How Mandatory Minimums Perpetuate Mass Incarceration & What To Do About It
Просмотров 1407 месяцев назад
There is widespread evidence that mandatory minimum sentences produce substantial harm with no overall benefit to crime control, according to a recent report by The Sentencing Project (TSP). Mandatory minimums are legal provisions in each state and the federal government that require a specific minimum prison term for certain crimes, regardless of individual circumstances. Determined by lawmake...
Correction: It's Time to Rethink Parole in the Age of Mass Incarceration
Просмотров 3248 месяцев назад
The United States alone locks up a quarter of the world’s incarcerated people. And yet, apart from clichés - “paying a debt to society” … “you do the crime, you do the time” - there is little sense collectively in America regarding what constitutes retribution or atonement. We don’t actually know why we punish. In his investigation into the crisis of the American criminal justice system, author...

    Mass incarceration takes parents away from growing kids that need guidance, and without this parental guidance, it may lead to much more crime.

    you guys are kidding right ? This was never on the tv news and why? And kids ? Really ? Of course people have overcome solitary and been successful writers and trump did this cause the jails stuff wouldn’t have done this , they’re not that cruel and don’t mind the effort to help the prisoners as much as they can to survive with a somewhat livable spin and why does the internet say we have 80,000 hotel rooms vacant every nite every nite the solitary folks could be in the hotels and going to the grocery store and working in the community , why is it the numbers match , that’s insanely impossible and their gonna need transportation , are you guys fucking with me , cause I don’t understand why this is happening , do you cause your not saying anything about it , and we have empty apts all over the place so the homeless can get of the streets and live in style as the solitary folks adjust gradually to not being confined like a veal calve anymore , its seem easy enough , ill call trump tower and the local police , they may not be aware of this
